example glabels template for fedora business cards

[Jef Spaleta]

I take the lack of glabels templates for the Fedora business cards
idea as a personal affront to my heroic effort to keep a glabels
package maintained in Extras.  In an effort to save your very souls
from my insatiable rage I have demeaned myself to create an example
glabels template which laughs in the face of the .odt template which
cowers in my template's presence. So incredibly frightened is the odt
template by the awesome majesty of the glabels template that the it
has failed to even heed the ancient evolutionary compulsion to void
its bowels in preparation for a dash for survival. For it is obvious
to the odt templates higher brain, that fighting my glabels template
is no option and fleeing from its devastating countenance is folly.
The odt template's only hope is to play dead, but such hope is slim
because the glabels template hunts for its prey with uncanny
supernatural abilities.

Anyways... i made a glabels example template for the business cards,
using the banner and logo scavanged from the wiki and the fedora-logos
package.  It would have been better if i could have found an svg
banner. And no I can't put more than one type of business card in a
single file.. so if you want to included glabels templates on the
wikipage you'll need to have one per type of card layout. They are
wicked easy to make though.

Jef,

I mangled your card and added an extra version to your page.  (Sorry to
meddle in your user space, I just didn't want there to be any doubt
about the credit.) :-)

I made the following changes:
- Higher resolution source for the fedora logo
- Tweaked the gradient in the SVG since the white somewhat obliterates
the readability of the bubble logo

If the size or positioning of anything looks bad, please tweak to your
heart's content.  I didn't have a lot of time to do careful comparisons
to your original.  Great work!

Actually, it's very good idea. I used to use glabels in the past and I
almost forget glabels is now part of Fedora Extras.

As an initiative for Fedora Media Project conjuction with Fedora Art Project.
I've created Fedora Core 5 DVD glabels template at

 sweeeeet.

I've been wanting something "officialish" for cdrom/dvd iso labels for
a while.. and I'd lvoe to see them placed on the isos themselves so
people burning their own isos can whip up their own press on labels
too.

A couple of suggestions for the template. Can you make an obvious spot
for a co-branding area so we can have things like  "purchased from
blah.com" or  "supplied by Lug Foo".  There's definitely  room on the
label, so it might be good to add a little text bubble in the template
on the left side as a sort of recommended "this is where co-branding
should go" hint.  You might even want to fill that bubble with example
text that points people to the trademark guideline url. Co-branding is
good for the organizations pressing media AND it helps identify
exactly which organization is responsible for the warrenty on the
media as per the trademark guidelines.

Co-branding sounds good. :)
I added "Courtesy of Fedora Project" in the left space.

I modified your design by replacing the graphics with SVG versions and 
uploaded a couple of designs:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/NicuBuculei?action=AttachFile&do=get&am...

The second is more shiny but the first is simpler and better for print.
